Bitcoin, institutional investors trend summary

Coinpost summarized the trend of institutional investors on the 4th.

In 2020, there were cases of participation by large companies, such as U.S.-listed companies such as MicroStrategy and Square purchase and hold large amounts of bitcoin (BTC) as a financial asset.

After 2021, the advancement of institutional investors who manage large amounts of money such as investment banks and asset management companies has been reported one after another.

Institutional investors who were skeptical of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin are also providing related services according to demand as more and more customers are paying attention to the surge in bitcoin due to environmental changes and customer demand expansion due to the financial easing of coronavirus.

Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and New York Melon Bank are examples. In addition, large financial companies such as PayPal and Visa are actively engaged in cryptocurrency business.

[Relationship between institutional investors and Bitcoin]

Dan Held, head of the Kraken business of the US cryptocurrency exchange, discusses the participation of Bitcoin and institutional investors in detail.

According to him,’institutional investor’ refers to a financial institution or a banking institution that is a company that provides services as an intermediary in the financial market. This includes central banks, funds rich in funds, various banks such as investment banks and commercial banks, securities companies, and insurance companies. And in the cryptocurrency industry, “institutional investors” refer to hedge funds and companies in addition to them.

It is explained that it is the result of finding a safe way to store value as the market was confused by the spread of the coronavirus against the background of institutional investors starting to purchase bitcoin. Since 2020, there has been a change in attitude toward bitcoin so far, and there are three institutional investors who started to buy it.

1.Hedge Fund
2. Investment bank
3. Enterprise

Without the participation of these institutional investors, Held pointed out, “Bitcoin will become a niche asset held only by individual investors, and it will not affect the world’s finance or politics.” As it is widely recognized as a means of preserving values, it is said that it is becoming more rooted in our lives.

In addition, the chart of the ratio of institutional investors and individual investors in Coinbase’s securities registration declaration form is cited. Emphasizing that the rise of institutional investors began in the second quarter of 19, and the rapid increase in the fourth quarter of 20, he argues as follows.

“Bitcoin has never had such strong fundamentals for an existing financial system. Therefore, Bitcoin is necessary and a lot of money is being invested. This could lead to a stronger bullish or milder bear market than the previous market.”

With the participation of institutional investors, Bitcoin has had an influence on the global economy, suggesting that this trend will accelerate in the future. Finally, “Bitcoin is now recognized globally as a storage asset of new value. It is the golden tower of hiring by institutional investors.”
